[quote Therapist]I kept looking at the pics and wondering where you purchased such a rig, until I was reminded that you are in Down Under country !! That really is a nice looking rig and it does not surprise me that Shimano makes boats, they make almost everything else in the world !! How wide is that thing?? Should be a pretty stable rig. Will you use it in both fresh and salt, or fresh only ??[/quote]

The boat is an Alley Craft, the boat just has Shimano stickers to look Puddy ;-)
It is a punt style hull but with good deep sides on it. They don't make the hull anymore as the boat builder sold out to a bigger name (a real shame because they are a great tub)
I will use it mainly for salt water fishing protected waters and some offshore work on the nicer days. I will use it in the fresh water lakes/dams to chase barramundi, Saratoga and bass occasionally too. (no trout or salmon where I am it's too warm)
It has a 2 metre beam at its widest so really comfy, stable and roomy layout.
If you are ever down under look me up and I will take you fishing :-)
